Avocado - Extra Firm Mattress

Note that Avocado has two versions of firm. One is their standard avocado green mattress without any toppers. Just called "Firm." The other is in its own category for heavier sleepers called Extra Firm. I would not advise extra firm unless you've tried it out. > *designed specifically for big and tall sleepers, plus-size individuals, athletes, and those who prefer an ultra-firm sleep surface.*

What do you say on the Avocado extra firm? And the Beautyrest black series 3 extra firm?

Thank you kindly. Happy i ordered the Avocado

Oh! You didnt try the extra firm Avocado then. If the BRB series 3 extra firm is around 8. The Avocado extra firm is 10. You should've tried that one!!

We had the naturpedic for a crib mattress. I know they are supposed to be very firm but it was so hard and I wonder if that’s why he didn’t sleep well in his crib. We got a full size Avocado a couple months ago for a floor bed so we can Co sleep and it’s very nice! I will say it felt too soft for the first couple days and we were worried. But it firmed up as it aired out. Now it’s very comfortable. He has been sleeping very wonderfully on it, too.

We have twin and queen mattresses from Avocado. They have a bit of a unique smell occasionally, I think because of the wool, but I don't find it offensive. They are HEAVY though!  I also got their twin waterproof mattress protector for one bed and the Naturepedic equivalent for the other, and both of those have worked great for multiple kid related fluids, lol. And just in case you're looking for new pillows to, I switched to a buckwheat hull pillow earlier this year. I love it, and I've heard millet hull ones are even nicer.

We paid a ton of money for our king avocado (from the manufacturer) and 5 years later it dips in the middle. Disappointing bc we have an avocado crib mattress that we used for 2 kids and it’s been fine.

Fwiw, I have both a queen avocado and a crib size avocado and both have been great. We bought the queen in 2020 and the crib size in 2022.

I have an avocado queen size in my guest room and my baby’s crib mattress is an avocado too and both have been great. The queen is only in the guest room because we got a king size and I wanted an even firmer mattress.

I had an avocado and liked it but prefer a firmer mattress so now I have a “the plank”

We have a king avocado and love it. Best purchase we’ve made as a couple (also the most expensive) but their financing plan was interest free over 12 months. Also got one of their bed frames which is beautiful. Word to the wise. The mattress is *extremely* heavy. Took our movers 4 people to get it up the stairs

I spent well over a year learning about and reading about mattresses. i read thousands of reviews, made phone calls, asked questions, and did everything i could do to learn about what is best. my decision was to get AVOCADO. I also got the wooden bed frame. i cannot tell you how great it is. I have ni words for how wonderful it is. I got it 4 years ago exactly. It is just as good today as on day one. Its beyond perfect. I encourage you to go for it.

We got an avocado mattress and it’s held up nicely for the past five years but I highly recommend giving them a test first, I know everyone is different.

wait that’s interesting you say that…. we have all avocado mattresses and our oldest one has a smell that i can’t describe. it’s not a bad smell but a smell… and i know it is clean bc we have a mattress protector on there. what would you describe yours smelling like😂

we have two avocado mattresses and i love them! but after reading this, i am not sure i would’ve splurged on them. i was under the impression mattresses were much more toxic than it is being stated here.
